Nice.

One thought; if you use DBUS as the message protocol, you don't need a
whatd.  Just what-clients and what-servers, where the former ask for
interaction and the latter provide it.

This gives you all the permissions stuff for free, etc.  You'd have a
console what-server during boot, an X one in the GNOME session, etc.
